Tried to get in the ceramics for non majors class (Fall and this semester) but it's oversubscribed & long waiting list - though what I'd really wanted to learn about what glaze chemistry (which is in an advanced class). The Prof emailed me yesterday with the slides and said the intro to glaze lecture would be today. Tues Thurs are not so good but 10 mins before the class I decided to carpe diem, ditch my emails and trudge quickly across campus. Glad I did!

@SRDas Not something to set aside time for right now, but, there are some good books about the history of pottery in different locations (e.g. China vs. Pueblo area of North America are completely different) which talk about how colors were discovered as possible to produce, including modern knowledge about what elements, minerals, or control of oxygen were used to produce various historical pot appearances. Also, pigments used in glass working have a lot of overlap with glaze.

@sunandshadow thanks! That sounds fascinating. Will keep a look out.
